Really Justin, Eve Adams?

She was a perfect fit for the Harper caucus. She even hooked up with former Harpo mouthpiece Dimitri Soudas. Then her political career went to hell and she couldn't even score a Conservative nomination anywhere. And, to prove that politics is a linear process, Eve Adams has now hopped aboard Team Trudeau.

Oh, mein gott, where have we seen this story before?

If you're not familiar with the MP for - well, somewhere - here's a summary of her travails from the National Post last April.

I can't wait for the first episode of The Real Housewives of Ottawa, the one in which Eve demolishes a local gas station/car wash with her SUV and still manages to find time to bill her new party for makeup.

I was watching Robert Fife's commentary on the big move, Mound. He says that the Conservatives are happy to be rid of Adams, but he also speculated that one of the reasons the Liberals accepted Adams is the fact that her fiance, Dmitri Soudas, has all kinds of dirt on the Conservatives that could prove embarrassing to harper as we get closer to the election.

I don't doubt for a moment that Stevie and his barely post-pubescent staff of cellar dwellers soiled themselves a bit when they realized that Dmitri is fully supporting Eve. She's not the star. She's just a vector for insight into the CPC game plan, which Dmitri helped craft.

Rumley, I just checked to confirm that Soudas was gone well before the Senate scandal first erupted. He was gone in September, 2011. The Senate expense scandal (Brazeau, Harb, Wallin & Duffy) began in 2012.

@ Anon 10:28 - The idea that she's a Harper mole is pretty far out there. I think Lorne is right. For JT to let her in, presumably with some deal on a riding to run in later this year, she must have come up with something very useful.
